Name Suddenly Taken

[Cheapshot]

Has anyone ever checked for a name and saw that it was available, then created a character only to find that now for some reason the name is taken? Is this a glitch or did someone just happen to grab the name a second later?

Did you back out of the character creator between checks, or check another name?  Sometimes the reserved status 'sticks' on the name for a while.  Try a rename and see if the name has come free again.

That did the trick, thanks!
